Palio @ Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore

Last weekend, we were at Resorts World Sentosa for a short family holiday. It was lunch time when we arrived, so we headed over to Palio for our lunch.

Palio is a restaurant located in Hotel Michael's lobby serving authentic Tuscan and traditional Italian cuisine. They do a weekday lunch special for S$22 per person for 2-courses or S$30 for 3-courses, which includes an appetizer, pasta or pizza and dessert. During our visit, a special 4-course set menu (S$50) was prepared for us.

They also offer a kids menu here for S$25 (3-courses), whereby diners could choose from baby chicken Caesar salad or mushroom soup to start, followed by mac & cheese or polpette (meatballs), and tiramisu.

Service is excellent, as staff are attentive and knowledgable. While waiting for our food, we were served a complimentary pizza-type bread and tomato salsa dip. Served warm, this was crisp and fluffy and the kids finished the whole basket in no time.

For starters, we had the Fegato D'Oca - pan seared duck foie gras with port wine gel and aged balsamic vinegar. The sight of the 80g beautifully seared foie gras sure made us smile in glee - a great start to our meal!

The next course to arrive was the zuppa di porcini, a Tuscan porcini mushroom soup served with toasted ciabatta bread croutons, porcini soil and white truffle oil. Loved the wonderful, appetizing aroma and the soup was rich and smooth, simply fantastic! We also ordered this for the kids from the kids menu and they loved it!

For mains, we had a choice of steak or tagliolini pasta, no prizes for guessing which one we went for! Naturally, being meat lovers, we both opted for the Controfilleto al Pepe Verde, a grilled grain fed rib eye steak served with mashed potato, rucola salad and green peppercorn sauce. It was cooked to our liking, so we thoroughly enjoyed this.

Kids had the Mac & Cheese

To end our meal on a sweet note, we all had the Palio's signature tiramisu. A dainty portion, we wished there was more :)

Do stay tuned for more of our dining and travel adventures at Resorts World Sentosa :)
